Operational Updates
• Food assistance during emergencies: In March 2025, WFP assisted 84,400 internally displaced people (IDPs), refugees and vulnerable host populations, distributing 64.6 mt of food and US$ 243,700 in cash transfers.
• Malnutrition prevention and management of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM): WFP assisted 42,250 children aged 6-59 months with 116 mt of specialised nutritious foods (SNFs). Ninety-seven percent of the beneficiaries were assisted under acute malnutrition treatment. The Country Office has prioritised malnutrition treatment over prevention due to resource constraints.
• School feeding activities: WFP continued school meal distribution under the Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF) initiative in the Northwest and Southwest regions. WFP provided meals to about 8,800 primary school children during recess, prepared from food commodities valued at US$ 57,500 supplied by local cooperatives.
• Resilience-building activities: In March 2025, WFP and partners continued to support communities to manage the agriculture-based assets they had created through the programme in all intervening regions. WFP assisted over 8,500 activity participants in the Adamawa, North and Far North regions with 149 mt and direct cash transfers amounting to US$ 8,800 to help mobilise communities to create community assets.
• The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) continued to operate flights to Maroua and N’Djamena (Chad) from Yaounde. A total of 268 passengers were transported in 55 flight segments, including two chartered flights in March 2025.
• The Douala Port is the main logistics entry point for humanitarian operations in Chad and West Sudan. From January to March 2025, over 30,510 mt of WFP food assistance were transported through the Cameroon corridor to Chad and West Sudan. This dispatch brings the total food commodities transported through the Corridor for Sudanese response (since April 2023) to more than 54,670 mt. Since the implementation of LESS in 2016, March 2025 marks the highest dispatch volume from the Douala corridor to Chad.
